Title: War
Course Section Number: PPE-358-02
Department: Philosophy, Politics, Economic
Description: FACE TO FACE COURSE. AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. PPE-358-02=ECO-358-02 Although wars may have many causes, a political economy focus can be an extremely useful tool for understanding why wars occur, why they succeed or fail, how they are fought, etc. Certainly, wars always have economic consequences. This course applies economic concepts to evaluate human action as a result of war and the threat of war by examining historical wars such as the American revolution, the World Wars, and more recent ones like the war of drugs and the war on terror. Topics explored will be the economics of conflict, revolutions, civil war, foreign interventions, humanitarian interventions, War and Prosperity, etc. Students will develop a deeper understanding of these issues through a framework of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics.
